Consider Proposed Ordinance No.010626 -2 awarding the bid for the West Main
Sanitary Sewer Project.
Eight potential bidders attended the mandatory prebid conference and we received five
bids. E. P. Brady, Inc. is the apparent lowest responsible bidder. The scope of work
includes construction of approximately 2100 linear feet of 24 -inch trunk sanitary sewer and
associated appurtenances on West Main Street, from Barrymore to Lee Drive. Existing
sanitary sewers will be filled with grout and abandoned in place. All associated lateral
sewers and services will be transferred to the new 24 -inch pipe after construction and
testing are completed. Due to the location under West Main Street, staff recommends
awarding the base bid which includes solid wall PVC sewer pipe. West Main Street paving
and drainage will be completed in a project following acceptance of the sanitary sewer
work.
This project was re -bid because the previous low bid was $107,644.62 above the
engineer's original estimate of $450,000. The re -bid included established unit prices for
mobilization and pipeline conflicts, and provided a longer bid period. The engineer's
revised estimate of the construction cost was $500,448. Construction duration is expected
to be 120 calendar days and will be funded by 2000 Certificates of Obligation.

Department Pistol Range.
The contract award amount was $1,577,753 and this change order, plus change orders 1, 2,

order results from these additional items being added to the contract. Funding for the park
road improvements will come from the Parks operating budget. Funding for the pistol
range sidewalks will come from Drug Enforcement Administration funds. The contract's

Minutes of the Special Session —June 26, 2001 -6:30 p.m.
C. Proposed Ordinance No. 010626 -7 awards the annual wastewater lab analysis
contract to EFEH & Associates in the amount of $35,770.46. Invitations to
Bid were mailed to nine suppliers and we received six responses. Interbio and
Environmental Chemistry, Inc., submitted no -bids. Analytical &
Environmental Testing's bid was received after the bid- opening deadline.
This contract is used by the Pollution Control Division for lab analysis testing.
Our analytical needs are governed by the types of waste streams we have
discharging to Baytown's sewer conveyance system and state and federal
government regulations.
TNRCC and EPA mandate the City of Baytown to operate an approved
Pretreatment Program, which has been incorporated as part of our TPDES
permits (wastewater discharge permit issued by TNRCC). As part of the
requirements of this program, the City is required to conduct annual and semi-
annual scans on the influent and effluent of all three wastewater treatment
plants and at least annual scans on the industrial dischargers. Recent
regulatory changes require that additional pollutants must be regulated on one
of our industrial dischargers and at the Central District Wastewater Treatment
Plant. Last year's contract was $32,430.47. This year's contract is a 10.3%
increase compared to last year's awarded contract. Four line items have been
added and one was deleted: Item #14 had to be split so that volatile pollutants
could be tested independently of the other pollutants listed. This created two
new line items, in addition to the two items added for other new testing
requirements from EPA. 9.2% of the increase of last year's contract is due to
the new testing requirements from EPA.
d. Proposed Ordinance No. 010626 -8 awards the first renewal of the annual
fire fighting protective clothing contract, Sections I, 11, III, IV, and Section
V, Item #6 to Casco Industries, Inc., in the amount of $25,835.60; and
Section V, Items #7 and #8 to Dooley Tackaberry, Inc., in the amount of
$3,280.70. Casco Industries, Inc., and Dooley Tackabenry, Inc., have
submitted written requests to renew their existing contracts for the same
pricing, terms and conditions. Total award of this contract is for
$29,116.30. This annual fire fighting protective clothing contract is
intended for a rigorous environment of fire fighting service. The Baytown
Fire and Rescue Service requires bunker gear that is compatible with
existing equipment. Specific brands and designs have been researched to
allow for standardization of current equipment. All specifications are
written to conform to the new NFPA standards. New standards require a
protective clothing manufacturer to be certified and registered to the ISO
standard 9001.

e. Proposed Ordinance No. 010626 -9 awards the first renewal of the annual
frozen dinners contract to HEB Pantry store #283 in the amount of
$45,302.40. HEB submitted a written request to renew the contract for the
same pricing, terms and conditions. Quantities remain the same. This
contract provides frozen meals for prisoners to be delivered weekly to the jail
facility.
f. Proposed Ordinance No. 010626 -10 awards the second renew4,1 of the annual
fill sand contract to Smart Materials, Inc., in the amount of $20,257.50. Smart
Materials has submitted a written request to renew the current contract with
the allowable CPIU of 3.6% increase. The new unit price per yard is $4.38.
Quantities remain the same. This contract is used primarily by Public
Works/Utilities to fill and level construction areas where necessary, i.e.,
filling in water lines, leveling yards where sewer or water repair occurs, etc.
Parks also uses this contract for special projects. The current market for fill
sand among other suppliers ranges from $5.00 to $6.00 per cubic yard.
The Consumer Price Index for all Urban Areas (CPIU) is an economic
indicator most widely used to measure inflation for prices of goods and
services purchased for consumption by urban households. The CPIU is an
average based on the previous 12 months.
g. Proposed Resolution No. 010626 -3 supports the expansion application of
approximately 200 acres as a foreign trade subzone designation for Cedar
Crossing, L.P. by the Liberty County Economic Development Foundation.
On September 28, 2000, the City Council passed Resolution No. 1456,
supporting a Foreign Trade Zone subzone designation for Project Superior
by the Port of Houston Authority. This FTZ designation paved the way for
Home Depot U.S.A., Inc., to begin plans to build a 750,000 to 1,000,000
square foot building in the Cedar Crossing Industrial Park as a warehousing
distribution center. Also of benefit to the City of Baytown and surrounding
area, will be the creation of 250 new jobs and a $25 million initial
investment.
This resolution is necessary to register the City's support of the expansion
of this FTZ subzone from 50 acres to a total of 200 acres. This expansion
will provide for future demand without a time delay and the cost of a
consultant. On May 10, 2001, the City Council supported this expansion
via Resolution No. 1488; however, since such time, the City has learned
that the application is being made by the Liberty County Economic
Development Foundation, not the Port of Houston Authority. This
proposed resolution corrects the applicant's name and better describes the
location of the subzone as being for Cedar Crossing, L.P.

County. Chambers County Mosquito Control, in accordance with Federal
Aviation Administration requirements, has requested official authorization
by Council to perform aerial spraying for the purpose of mosquito control
within the portion of Baytown that is located within Chambers County.
Chambers County 2001 Aerial Program will include dispensing ultra -low
volumes (0.5 oz/acre to 3.0 oz/acre) of Malathion or Naled for the control of
adult mosquitoes. All applications will be made at altitudes of 200 to 300
feet. Chambers County has been performing aerial spraying in this area for
several years.
i. Proposed Resolution No. 010626 -5 authorizes the submission of the
application for the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant application for
fiscal years 2001 -2003 and authorizes additional actions related to said
grant. The Baytown Police Department has been awarded such grant funds
from the Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Justice Programs, United
States Department of Justice (Local Law Enforcement Block Grant) for the
past five years. The grant application is for $68,766 with a local match of
$7,641. The cash match is proposed to be budgeted in the General Fund.
The proposed resolution also authorizes the City Manager serve as the
City's representative for all purposes under the grant and to take all further
actions necessary for submission of the grant application.
